"When you get around here, it looks like you're gone."

"Right."

Day 4 after I left the dump.

The appearance of a fierce demon by magic is finally gone.

A total of 6 in addition to the 3 first demons attacked on Day 1.

On the second day five demons were attacked.

And yesterday, on day three, two.

I haven't encountered one yet today.

Normal demons run away when they feel the magic of Ciel.

So it is undoubtedly demons affected by magic that strike me.

"But it's amazing."

"Yeah."

The demons that have been attacked are brilliantly repelled by Ciel.

Or its strength was overwhelming.

Besides, Ciel seemed happy when he was fighting.

That felt completely instinctive.

"What more do you do with magic items than that?

"Aren't you allowed to sell everything?

The season is different, but defeating the demon dropped the magic item.

Even so, it's just the demons I defeated around Rock Mountain.

As for the number, 7.

The first thing I dropped was a magic ring.

It seems popular with adventurers when they run out of magic, they can use the magic accumulated in the demonic stone attached to the ring.

In addition, there were magic boxes, guardian rings, etc.

The guardianship ring unfortunately didn't go well with Mr. Druid or me.

It's the first time I've ever known it to be compatible, but if it's compatible, they'll prevent an unintentional attack.

Too bad.

"Are you sure?

"Yeah. I didn't have anything in particular to use. You'll be in the way of your journey."

"Right. Sell it in the next village."

"Yeah."

Ciel stops inadvertently.

Could it be again?

Explore the signs as you look around, but demons ferocious by magic can't read the signs.

Mr. Druid was also tilting his neck about this.

Even now, they've looked into the ferocious demons, but they didn't have any information that the signs could be erased.

If I just can't read the signs, it's a big deal for adventurers, so I'm going to explain it in detail in the village.

"Ciel, is there a demon coming?

"Huh."

Is this ringing differently?

Then what is it?

Change the direction Ciel was headed in to the side.

And look at me still.

"Could it be a stop?

"Nya-yay."

I don't know where this place is, and I don't know how soon I'll be in Hathahi village, but it looks interesting.

"Mr. Druid, can I go?

"Mm-hmm. I can still afford the day, and I'll go"

In Mr. Druid's words, the tree behind Ciel makes a noise with the Mississippi.

I'm sure they're attacking me with Ciel's tail.

See the tree behind Ciel.

A tree of such thickness is shaking heavily to the left and right.

That's all I have to do is tail the demons that attack me.

"Ciel, let's go. Near here?"

"Nya-yay."

Walk about 20 minutes after Ciel.

"Is that Rock Mountain?

"But the color of the rock is black, right?

It was a big rocky mountain that showed up in front of me.

However, the color of the rock is black.

"I wonder what it is. Fun."

Tensions persisted over the past few days over the monsters that appeared unexpectedly.

Even though I knew Ciel was going to repel me, I was still anxious and thrilled.

So my footsteps will also be lighter for a long time of fun.

Was it because of that, long time ago?

Supported by Mr. Druid, who was right behind me, I had nothing to do with it, but I am ashamed.

"Surprised"

"Ivy, calm down. Because I'm surprised."

"Sorry. Thanks"

I felt my foot stuck in something, so I look at my foot.

There was nothing in the habit of rocky mountains.

There's not even a small step.

"Nya-yay."

"Oh, sorry."

Ciel rings and tells me something.

Follow Ciel's gaze by the side.

"Cave?"

A perfectly empty hole in a black rocky mountain.

If you judge by your appearance, it's creepy.

but Ciel jumps happily into the cave in front of him.

"Sounds like fun, huh?

"Yeah."

I've never seen Ciel look forward to caving that far.

Is it also something that rocks Ciel's emotions?

Step into the cave but I didn't see anything.

Is it because the rock is black, or unusually dark?

When Mr. Druid turns on the magic item lights, the soft lights soften around him.

"Something's sparkling"

There is something buried in the cave walls, reflecting the light and sparkling.

Strangely approaching the wall.

"Small, but beautiful."

Small round stone about thumb.

The colors are transparent.

"Is it a demon stone?

Try touching a stone buried in the wall.

I don't feel magic from the stone.

"Isn't that a demon stone?"

Then what would this be?

Stone... besides demonic stone, if I say stone, jewel?

But I've never seen a gem, so I can't tell if it's a gem.

"Ivy, this is amazing. It's probably a valuable diamond among the jewels."

Diamonds.

That's kind of a name I've heard of.

"Awesome?

"Oh, this size alone is a lot of money"

Seeing Mr. Druid's palm, he had a transparent stone about the same size as the tip of my thumb.

Is it worth it even though it's so small?

"What power does this stone have?

"No power"

You have no power?

And yet worth it?

"Like a guardian stone?

"No, the noblemen who wear them."

Decorate...... ornaments!

"Ornaments?

"Oh, diamonds are all the jewels that royalty and nobility want to get."

"Heh."

"You don't seem interested."

"Yeah. No."

'Cause there's no such thing as a gem that won't help protect or fight.

Oh, but you said you could sell it.

If you're going to King's Capital or the surrounding towns, I want some more money to spare.

"If it sells, can I have a little?

"It doesn't look like someone's managing it, and it'll be fine"

"Good. Should I look for a big stone?

"No, it's more transparent than size. Even at this size, two or three gold coins."

"What! You're that small?

See Mr. Druid's palm again.

Still about the size of my thumb tip.

Sure, it's transparent, but it's not magical.

The aristocrats are dressed in vain.

Looks stiff on the shoulder.

"But sure, if you're going to King's Capital, it'd be safer to save some more money. Because prices are several times higher in Wangdu and surrounding towns."

How many times?

Is there that much difference in price?

"So different?

"Oh, how long have you been buying dried meat?

"About 100 dals in packs of 8 to 10? I think there were 150 dals."

With that said, it's like the price is going up a little bit.

"If you go to the King's Capital, you'll get 500 dals for 10."

"Yeah! Is it that expensive? Not too expensive?

"Even if it's expensive, I can sell it. Now that's the norm. Besides, the more you go to Wang Du, the less wild rabbits, wild rats, etc., so there's no other way."

Yes, it is.

Wang Du is kind of a place where you need a lot of money.

I thought even 150 dals would be expensive.

500 dals...... you can never live in the king's capital or anything like that.

"Let's go, let's go home."

"Cuckoo. Right."

I thought you'd like to stay in Wang Du for a bit, but let's stop.

Oh, is there a hand in staying in the square for just a few days and enjoying the king's capital?

But food and stuff......

"Oh, because wangdu and its surrounding villages also cost money to stay in the square"

Let's keep Wang Du's stay to a minimum.

...... hmm?

"You don't have to stay in Wang Du, do you? Because the place I want to go is next to Wang Du."

"You're not going? To get near the king's capital."

"Hmm."

I didn't think I'd want to see Wang Du, but I don't think I would.

When people ask me if I want to go until I spend extra money, I think, 'You don't have to.'

But I'm a little concerned.

"Well, you can think slowly before you go to Wang Du. Well, let's have a little."

"Yeah."
